In an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net, Hajimurad Karaev, manager of former ACA light heavyweight champion Muslim Magomedov, talked about his client's future plans.
"Currently, there are many contenders for the title and for a fight with Muslim. A few years ago, it was very difficult to find an opponent for Magomedov. But now there's Adlan Ibragimov, who is also eager to fight Muslim. There's Faridun Odilov as well, and that matchup is particularly intriguing. Their fight could fill huge stands in Moscow. Faridun wants to have one fight to avenge his loss before taking on Muslim,” Karaev said.

There's also Leonardo Silva, a very tough Brazilian. We need to see what the league offers. Besides, we must consider Muslim's opinion—whether he wants to continue competing in the league and fight for the title or choose another path across the ocean where the pay might be better. Muslim is eyeing the PFL, even though the league has changed its payment structure. The issue will come down to the visa situation. This is a subject for discussion. Muslim will likely stay in ACA a bit longer, unlike Gasanov.
Magomedov has an impressive record of 15 wins and no losses. On February 28 at ACA 184, he won against Evgeny Erokhin by unanimous decision.
